We are pleased to announce the 14th Australasian International Conference on Speech Science and Technology (SST) 2012 to be hosted in Macquarie University, Sydney. The conference will bring together speech scientists, engineers, psycholinguists, audiologists, linguists and speech/language pathologists. Two workshops on speech perception and production will be organized.

Anonymous 4-page papers and 1-page abstracts are solicited for consideration as 20-minute talks or posters (respectively) in any of the topic areas of the conference. Please note, as this is a departure from previous SST conferences: 4-page papers will only be considered for oral presentations, and 1-page abstracts will be considered only for poster presentations. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, but accepted abstracts will not.

Any single individual may be the lead author on no more than one submitted paper or abstract.
